Napoli
De Sanctis: 6 - Could do nothing on either of Milan's goals and had little else to contend with.
Campagnaro: 4.5 - Culpable of playing too high a line on Pato's goal; fatally bothered in the opening 10 minutes to the detriment of his side.
Grava: 6.5 - Caught out for the first goal, guilty of being too far from Inzaghi, but recovered to register a steady shackling job on Ronaldinho.
Rinaudo: 6.5 - Made his presence felt at the business end from set-pieces but could not capitalise. Untidy footwork in defence led to some uncomfortable moments but largely solid.
Aronica: 6 - Much neater in his offensive duties than defensive and looked more comfortable on the left-side of an ersatz back-four than a back-three.
Pazienza: 5.5 - Solid in the first half as the Partenopei squeezed their opponents but was sacrificed as Mazzarri went more direct.
Gargano: 7 - Patrolled his territory well in the first half and got forward to put pressure on the Milan goal in the second.
Maggio: 6.5 - Provided a sumptuous cross for Denis' late equaliser after a busy, but unproductive showing up to then.
Hamsik: 6 - Threatened to drag his side back into the game after a horror opening for Napoli; however, despite his abundance of shots and possession, will have to chalk this down as an off night.
Lavezzi: 8.5 - Remained lively throughout; tussled with practically every Milan defender and registered a number of shots on goal. Linked up well with his fellow attackers and was definitely a bright spot for the Vesuviani.
Quagliarella: 6 - Efficient approach play was not matched by accuracy in front of goal. Involved his support players well, in any case.
Subs
Cigarini: 8 - A memorable strike to spark the comeback.
Datolo: n/a - Offered more natural wing-play on the left late on.
Denis: 8 - Scored with a fine late header.
AC Milan
Dida: 8.5 - An outstanding night from the erratic goalkeeper. Made at least half-a-dozen top drawer saves and commanded his defence with authority; unlucky not to be on the winning side.
Abate: 4 - Started neatly but went steadily downhill from there. Involved with a fascinating battle with Lavezzi and eventually saw red for two silly fouls.
Nesta: n/a - Disconcerting to see the great man injured again. Hopefully his withdrawal will prove to be only precautionary.
Thiago Silva: 6 - Proved his worth as an emerging force despite initial casualness but was on his heels for Denis' equaliser.
Zambrotta: 5.5 - Offered decent width during Milan's early sorties up-field but saw his attacking enthusiasm curbed as the hosts pressed.
Ambrosini: 6 - Blocked, shielded and helped to soak up the pressure. All in vain though.
Pirlo: 5.5 - A quiet night for the metronomic passer. Outgunned in midfield and could not offer much positivity.
Seedorf: 6.5 - Gave a great assist for fellow old-timer Inzaghi and reminded observers of his exemplary vision whenever he had the chance.
Ronaldinho: 5 - Flickered intermittently; dribbles were flat-footed and largely unsuccessful and he lasted only an hour.
Pato: 7.5 - Took his goal with usual aplomb. Uninvolved for large periods but worried Napoli to the point of distraction whenever he popped up.
Inzaghi: 7 - Another vital contribution from 'Super Pippo'. Always a threat, even when Milan were fenced in, and it is testament to his longevity that he looked disdainful when he was hooked after 70 minutes.
Subs
Kaladze: 4 - Looked decidedly uncomfortable; misread flick-ons and erroneously claimed offsides. Allowed too many shots onto an admittedly inspired Dida's goal.
Flamini: n/a
Borriello: n/a
